CoreSite announced the launch of new enhanced network services to its software-defined networking platform, the Open Cloud Exchange(R) (OCX). The new services automate additional provisioning functionality within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and direct cloud-to-cloud communication capabilities on CoreSite's fully managed virtual routers. CoreSite is also a member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).

Working together with CoreSite's high-performance switching platform, the OCX enables secure, low latency connectivity among the company's data centers, cloud providers and digital ecosystem needed to reach new markets, rapidly scale on- demand, reduce total cost of operation (TCO) and accelerate IT modernization. The new Layer 3 connection to OCI, available through the OCX, provides 1 Gbps bandwidth for customers, with 10 Gbps to follow in future releases. By launching these additional direct-to-cloud capabilities on the OCX platform, CoreSite customers now have more options to deploy multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures by connecting other cloud deployments to OCI.
